REPLY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Beauty, I seek your image in my heart
Last Line: And, somewhere in the wood, a thrush replied.
Alternate Author Name(s): Hutchinson, Amory Hare
Subject(s): Beauty; Soul; Vision


Beauty, I seek your image in my heart
Along uncharted reaches of my soul;
Alone, yet multiple,
Behind me, yet before,
Beneath, within where least I thought you straying,
Give me one broken vision of the Whole --
One bar of that strange music you are playing!
Thus to all Beauty I my longing cried, at morn.
One drop of dew fell mutely from the thorn,
And, somewhere in the wood, a thrush replied.
